Pastor Roger and Sandra Olsen
Pastor Roger Olsen entered the ministry in 1970 as Associate Pastor of Bethesda Church in Madison. In 1975 he began his ministry at Madison Gospel Tabernacle (now Lake City Church). A small group of people in New Glarus asked Pastor Roger to help them establish and pastor a church in 1993. The agreement to help for six months has now extended to 15 years. Pastor Roger says, “Like every new work, we have experienced our share of challenges; but God has been faithful and we have experienced His blessings in growth both spiritual and numerical.” Enthused about what God is doing in and through the Church today, Pastor Roger is excited about what lies ahead. “It is a joy and privilege to be a part of helping and equipping young people, men and women to rise and step into their calling and fulfill God’s purpose for their lives! I look forward to seeing more of His plans and vision fulfilled in Grace and in the New Glarus area.”
Pastor Roger loves antique cars but professes his cars end up in the junkyard before attaining antique status!
Pastor Roger is married to Sandra enjoying 43 years of marriage, two sons, two daughters and 11 grandchildren. Sandra, along with their oldest son, owns and manages Kids Junction. Kids Junction is a Christian pre-school and after-school program with enrollment of over 300 children. tp
Michael Beil
Life is phenomenal. Many may not agree with this statement due to individual circumstances. But, it has become so evident that the love of Jesus radiates beyond everything else (even being in a wheelchair). As a young man beginning ministry as a part of the staff at Grace Church, Michael is desirous for others to encounter the extravagant and outrageous love that is in Christ. The mandate that Jesus has given to Michael is to know him and to make him known to others.
Having recently graduated from North Central University in Minneapolis, MN, with a degree in Pastoral Studies, Michael is ready to share the truth and the hope of the Good News that is the power to transform the world! Now is the time that we can be running and not growing weary, walking and not becoming faint! - Isaiah 40:31.
